Hohner Super Chromonica Harmonica in the Key of A

Almost unchanged since its original design, the Super Chromonica remains the chromatic harmonica by which all others are measured. Hohner's double–lacquered pearwood comb delivers the rich tonal warmth that generations of folk, pop and jazz players have relied on, while the optimised comb design ensures superior response across the upper register. This is the chromatic that defined the sound of countless recordings – from vintage film scores to jazz standards – and continues to be the go–to instrument for players who demand traditional construction and proven performance.

The instrument features 48 brass reeds mounted on 1.05mm brass reed plates, providing the clarity and projection needed for both stage and studio work. Traditional cover plates with classic embossing maintain the iconic aesthetic, while the nickel–plated brass mouthpiece offers durability and comfortable playability. The double lacquer finish on the pearwood comb reduces swelling behaviour in high–humidity conditions, maintaining tuning stability and consistent response over extended playing sessions. Available in the key of A, this chromatic harmonica delivers the authentic tone and feel that has made the Super Chromonica the reference standard since its inception.
